JavaScript - Javascript Dropdown List Popup Depending On Selection?
Hello Folks,
Here is my dropdown menu: Code: <select name="peeps"> <option value="Frank Tompson">Frank Tompson</option> <option value="Henry Wilson">Henry Wilson</option> <option value="Bill Kent">Bill Kent</option> <option value="Jessi McDonald"> Jessi McDonald</option> <option value="John Hays">John Hays</option> How can i make it so if i click on John Hays a JavaScript pop up will say Hello John Hays, and if i click on Bill Kent a popup will say hello Bill Kent and if i click on any other name nothing happens? Similar TutorialsHello. The code below lets a user select a drop down option and a picture changes depending on the selection. I am trying to make it so when you select an option on the dropdown the picture shows up in the center of the screen and in the background behind the text. Here is the code. Code: <html> <head> <style type='text/css'> #txt {background-repeat:no-repeat;width:200px;height:200px;} </style> <script type='text/javascript'> function div_bg(team){ document.getElementById('txt').style.backgroundImage="url(images/" + team + ".jpg)"; } </script> </head> <body> <select name='team' onChange='div_bg(this.value);'> <option name='arsenal' value='arsenal'>Arsenal</option> <option name='liverpool' value='liverpool'>Liverpool</option> </select> <div id='txt'></div> </body> Thanks in advance!! Dear Javascript programmers, Do you have an example of a Javascript something like this: A dropdownlist with values "one" and "two". The radio button is not visible (as a start). - If you have selected "one" from the dropdown list, then a radio button will appear. - If you have selected "two" from the dropdown list, then a radio button will NOT appear. Thanks, Cornelis Gouda - The Netherlands Hi, I have two dropdown lists with the second one being dependent on the selection in the first. Options in list 1: 1,3 or 4 List two should be enabled when 3 or 4 is selected in list 1. So far so good, managed to get it to work with only one set of lists, but I actually have 18 of those sets in this form: Code: <select name="fw[$i]" id="fw[$i]"> <option value="1">FWH</option> <option value="3">links</option> <option value="4">rechts</option> <option value="0" selected></option> </select><br /> <select name="lie[$i]" id="lie[$i]" disabled="disabled" onchange="showBox($i,xxx);"> <option value="0" selected>---</option> <option value="1">gut</option> <option value="2">schlecht</option> <option value="3">Strafschlag</option> <option value="4">OB</option> </select> $i is my index generated by my PHP script and runs from 1 to 18. Everything works just fine as long as the index is not in play. With the index my function breaks, most probably due to my inability to extract the second parameter (xxx above) from the selection field. Here's my function, there could be something wrong there too with how exactly to specify the proper dropdown list to enable. Code: function showBox(field,val) { if (val > 1) { var box = 'lie[' + field + ']'; document.form1.box.disabled == false; } else { document.form1.box.disabled == true; } } Finally, I'm not that adept in javascript programming, more like a trial and error guy, how has hit the wall with this problem. Thanks in advance! Joe Hi all, I have been struggling on a bit of code for a while now. I need to populate a second drop down list (Region) based upon the selection of the first (County). I have found a piece of code that works on its own and have adapted to suit my needs - see below. However, when I drop it into my main page the javascript is not working. It's because of the formObject but I just don't know enough to resolve this! Furthermore, I need the textboxes the user has already completed in the form to retain their value once the javascript kicks in as the completed form will submit to a database. This piece of code is working well . . . . Code: <?php $link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database'); if(isset($_GET["County"]) && is_numeric($_GET["County"])) { $County = $_GET["County"]; } if(isset($_GET["Region"]) && is_numeric($_GET["Region"])) { $Region = $_GET["Region"]; } ?> <script language="JavaScript"> function autoSubmit() { var formObject = document.forms['theForm']; formObject.submit(); } </script> <form name="theForm" method="get"> <!-- County SELECTION BASED ON city VALUE --> <?php ?> <select name="County" onChange="autoSubmit();"> <option value=''</option> <?php //POPULATE DROP DOWN MENU WITH COUNTRIES FROM A GIVEN city $sql = "SELECT * FROM county_regions"; $counties = mysql_query($sql,$link); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($counties)) { echo ("<option value=\"$row[CountyID]\" " . ($County == $row["CountyID"]? " selected" : "") . ">$row[County]</option>"); } ?> </select> <?php ?> <br><br> <?php if($County!= null && is_numeric($County)) { ?> <select name="Region" onChange="autoSubmit();"> <?php //POPULATE DROP DOWN MENU WITH RegionS FROM A GIVEN city, County $sql = "SELECT * FROM county_regions WHERE CountyID = $County "; $Regions = mysql_query($sql,$link); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Regions)) { echo ("<option value=\"$row[CountyID]\" " . ($Region == $row["CountyID"]? " selected" : "") . ">$row[Region]</option>"); } ?> </select> <?php } ?> What follows is my form where the javascript is not working - edited quite a bit to save on space! Code: <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function autoSubmit() { var formObject = document.forms['subform']; formObject.submit(); } </script> </head> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="add_attraction01.php" FORM NAME="FormName"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="32768" /> <label for="Business_name">Business Name</label> <input type="text" size="60" STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #72A4D2;" <id="Business_name" name="Business_name" maxlength=60/><font size="1" face="arial" color="red">Required field</font><br /> <label for="StreetAddress">Address</label> <input type="text" size="60" rows="2" id="StreetAddress" name="StreetAddress" maxlength=120/><font size="1" face="arial" color="red">Required field</font><br /> <label for="Town">Town</label> <input type="text" size="25" id="Town" name="Town" maxlength=25/><font size="1" face="arial" color="red">Required field</font><br /> <?php $link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database'); if(isset($_GET["County"]) && is_numeric($_GET["County"])) { $County = $_GET["County"]; } if(isset($_GET["Region"]) && is_numeric($_GET["Region"])) { $Region = $_GET["Region"]; } ?> <form name = "subform" method="get"> <select name="County" onChange="autoSubmit();"> <option value=''</option> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM county_regions"; $counties = mysql_query($sql,$link); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($counties)) { echo ("<option value=\"$row[CountyID]\" " .

Thanks in advance for your help. I have a form that I am using for several different pages as they are exactly the same... however at the top you must make a choice from the drop down box that then shows the appropriate fields to fill in. Can I make the drop down default to a certain option depending on which page they are coming from? I just recently bought 2 books, AJAX and Javascript, to help me in writing a wep application. They have been great so far except for one thing. I am trying to populate a dropdown list with an XML file, but I want it to load into the dropdown list only AFTER a radio button has been clicked. Does anyone know how to do this or does anyone know where I could go to get some insight on this? Thanks.
Hi coders, I need to achieve two things upon making a selection from a drop down field: 1) Changing the background picture of a cell. 2) Changing the size of a uploaded foreground picture within the same cell. Code: <select name=ADDITIONALINFO> <option value="25 x 25">25 x 25</option> <option value="35 x 35">35 x 35</option> <option value="45 x 45">45 x 45</option> <option value="55 x 55">55 x 55</option> </select> Any guidance how to achieve this is appreciated. Hi Within a classic asp webform (using vbscript) I would like part of the form (input boxes within table structure) to be specific/displayed depending on the users selection from the combo box in the row above. I think the best solution would be using Javascript can anyone suggest a solution or example code? Many thanks Sarah Hi I'm new to javascript, so this is probably very simple. I've created a form with combobox with different values (this is for my website). What I want is when the user clicks 'submit' that it goes to a different page on the website depending on the value the person has selected in the combobox. Values are numerical, for example 1000, 2000, 5000 etc. I've been trying this for a couple of days now without success! Thanks in advance what can be the reasons for the same code which works perfectly in notepad to not show its result in a jsp application done using eclipse??anything to do with settings? I am not able to display the current date as default in dd/mm/yyyy format in drop down boxes..only dd and yyyy apears but month isnt apearing as default.. can u suggest alternative logic and its code to implement the same?? Hello, I am completely new to HTML/JS/CSS, therefore I know very little. I have two drop-down prompt controls with month names. One has just one value (say "July") and the other has all the months of the year ("January".."December"). The first prompt control is hidden on the page. How do I set the default selection of the second prompt control to the value present in the first prompt control? So, when the page is run, the second prompt control should automatically show "July". I was reading up on the selectedIndex property (?), but I know that it won't work because I want Index 0 to be selected in the first control and Index 6 in the second, and I expect it to change every month (next month it will be index 7 that should be automatically selected). If it matters, I am using IE8. Thanks! Hi, I'm trying to integrate an address finder (http://www.craftyclicks.co.uk/) into my shopping cart (OsCommerce). I can get it to work but I need to add my own functionality. I'm not very experienced with JavaScript and my head has entered an infinite loop by now. The problem is that the address finder script can change the selected country in a drop-down list depending on the postcode entered by the user (using the onblur event handler). What I need it to do is to remove all other countries depending on the postcode. I can get it to remove all other countries but how do i return to the original list of countries when the postcode is changed again? Once all other counties are removed, the drop-down list will obviously only have one option left... I guess the question is also how does a function remember what it has done before, when it is called again? I have written this short test script as it is easier to work with than the craftyclicks oscommerce contribution: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>HTML Template</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ function store(element) { // store values var cl = element; var text_list = new Array(); var value_list = new Array(); var length = cl.length; for (var foo=0; foo<length; foo++) { text_list[foo] = cl.options[foo].text; value_list[foo] = cl.options[foo].value; alert("text array " + foo + " " + text_list[foo]); alert("value array " + foo + " " + value_list[foo]); } populate(cl, text_list, value_list); } function populate(element, text, value) { // populate options with previously stored values var cl = element; var length = cl.length; cl.options.length=0; for (var bar=0; bar<length; bar++) { cl.options[bar]= new Option(text[bar], value[bar], false, false); } } function crafty_set_country(code) { var cl = document.getElementById('select'); store(cl); for (var i=0; i<cl.length; i++) { if (cl.options[i].value == code) { alert(cl.options[i].value + " found"); var value = cl.options[i].value; var text = cl.options[i].text; cl.options.length=0; cl.options[0]=new Option(text, value, true, true); /* for (var j=0; j<cl.length; j++) { alert("second loop " + cl.options[j].text); if (cl.options[i].value != code) { cl.options[j] } } */ } else { alert(cl.options[i].value); } } } //]]> </script> </head> <body> <form> <select id="select"> <option value="10">ten</option> <option value="20">twenty</option> <option value="30">thirty</option> <option value="40">fourty</option> <option value="50">fifty</option> <option value="60">sixty</option> </select> <input type="button" value="remove" name="button" onClick="crafty_set_country(50)"> <input type="button" value="repopulate" name="button" onClick="crafty_set_country(100)"> </form> </body> </html> Many thanks! Martin Hello I've been struggling trying to get a small order form to work the way I want it to. Here is a link to the live page: http://www.watphotos.com/introductio...otography.html And here is the code in question: Code: <script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function(){ var initial = 0 var total = 0; var services = 0; function addServices() { initial = 150 total = initial services = 0; $("input:checked").each(function(){ value = $(this).attr("value"); services += parseInt(value); }); } $(function() { addServices(); total += services; $("form").before('<p class="price"></p>') $("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total); }); $("input:radio, input:checkbox").click(function () { addServices(); total += services $("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total); }); }); </script> I have two questions... Question 1 How can I make this piece of script act a little smarter. Look at the order form, I'm catering for up to 4 people and providing lunch for them. If they select 3 people and the spaghetti bol for lunch, it's only adding $10 where it should be adding $30. Obviously this is simple multiplication but since the values in my form are prices it makes it a little tricky. I'm guessing an onselect on the first part of the form which changes the pricing of the other items would be the way to go, but how do I do this? Question 2 The "Total Price" is placed before the <form> tag by the script. This is ok but it's not where I want it. How can I position this text elsewhere in the document? Thanks in advance! Is it possible to pull multiple variables from a single dropdown menu selection? example: I have this: Code: function material_choices_menu() /* Provides Specific Gravity for various materials */ { var data = "Material <select name='material'>"; data += "<option value='.926'>CYCOLAC MG47 (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<option value='1.050'>CYCOLAC MG47MD (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<option value='.958'>CYCOLAC T (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<\/select>"; document.write(data); } I'd like to have multiple option values: Code: function material_choices_menu() /* Provides Specific Gravity for various materials */ { var data = "Material <select name='material'>"; data += "<option value1='.926', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC MG47 (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<option value1='1.050', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC MG47MD (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<option value1='.958', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC T (ABS)<\/option>"; data += "<\/select>"; document.write(data); } I plan to use the first value in some math formulas to determine weights and the rest of the values will just be shown as data for the user and/or possibly a link to the datasheet for the material selected. Is this possible or am I reaching here? Hi Everyone, I'm encountering errors with a form I have created. I feel confident that the issue is with my JS validation form because when I allow the form to submit without validating any of the fields, my php processor correctly uploads all the content into my database (but, I will need the form validation to prevent the user from skipping fields). The issue (I believe) is with IE. In IE, both drop-downs seem to populate correctly but when I submit the form, I get a prompt to make a selection for the first drop-down menu. The form does submit properly in FireFox and Safari but with some testing I noticed that I was getting a prompt to make a selection in the first drop-down in instances where a selection was already made but I just had not yet populated the second country/state drop-down. Still, in Firefox and Safari, the form does pass validation upon submit.. So, I am hoping it's just IE specific issue. I'm thinking the issue is with IE not recognizing my selection. The form had a drop-down menu where the user selects a letter, then that selection triggers (in JS using a function to process the selection) another drop-down to populate with all the countries or states that begin with the letter from the first selection. Here is the code from my form: Code: <p><span class="title">Sign Up</span></p> <br /> <form id = "signupForm" action="signup_process.php" method = "post" onsubmit="return validateSignupForm();"> <p>All required fields are marked with ( <span class = "requiredStar">*</span> )</p> <br /> <p><label for="first_name">First Name: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <div class = "contactRight"><input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" style="height: 20px;" size="30" tabindex="1" maxlength="30" /></div> <br /> <p><label for="last_name">Last Name: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <div class = "contactRight"><input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" style="height: 20px;" size="30" tabindex="2" maxlength="30" /></div> <br /> <p><label for="countryLtr">Select the first letter of your country: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <select id="countryLtr" name="countryLtr" id="countryLtr" size="1" tabindex="3" onchange="processSelection()"> <option value=""></option> <option value="USA">USA</option> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> <option value="D">D</option> <option value="E">E</option> <option value="F">F</option> <option value="G">G</option> <option value="H">H</option> <option value="I">I</option> <option value="J">J</option> <option value="K">K</option> <option value="L">L</option> <option value="M">M</option> <option value="N">N</option> <option value="O">O</option> <option value="P">P</option> <option value="Q">Q</option> <option value="R">R</option> <option value="S">S</option> <option value="T">T</option> <option value="U">U</option> <option value="V">V</option> <option value="W">W</option> <option value="Y">Y</option> <option value="Z">Z</option> </select> <br /> <br /> <p><label for="countryState">Select your country/ state (if USA): <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <select id="countryState" name="countryState" id="countryState" size="1" tabindex="4"> </select> <br /> <br /> <p><label for="username">Create a username: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <div class = "contactRight"><input type="text" name="username" id="username" style="height: 20px;" size="30" tabindex="5" maxlength="30" /></div> <br /> <p><label for="email">Email: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <div class = "contactRight"><input type="text" name="email" id="email" style="height: 20px;" size="30" tabindex="6" maxlength="30" /></div> <br /> <p><label for="password">Create a password: <span class = "requiredStar">*</span></label></p> <div class = "contactRight"><input type="password" name="password" id="password" style="height: 20px;" size="30" tabindex="7" maxlength="30" /></div> <br /> <br /> <input type="hidden" name="source" value="12345"> <input type="image" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submitButton" src="images/submit-button.png" /> <input type="image" name="reset" value="Reset" class="resetButton" src="images/reset-button.png" /> <br /> </form> and here is the code for processing the selection of the first drop-down and populating the second drop-down (I reduced the number of options for the countries to save on characters for this post): Code: function processSelection() { choice1 = document.getElementById("countryLtr");

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Need a javascript function... If a checkbox is checked, then corresponding dropdown selection is must... Please help me with this... Thanks Reply With Quote Hello, I would like to know how can I send the selection from a dropdown from a webpage to another. In the first page where I have the dropdown list, I have this: Code: <td valign="top" align="left" nowrap width="90%"> <input name="time" style="width:100%" /> </td> <td valign="top" align="left" nowrap width="50"> <select name="time2"> <option value="60">Minutes</option> <option value="3600">Hour</option> <option value="86400">Days</option> </select> </td> In the second page, where I want this selection to be dispalyed, I created this code: Code: <td width="188" valign="top" align="left" nowrap> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">document.write(window.opener.document.form.elements["time"].value + " " + window.opener.document.form.elements["time2"].value);</SCRIPT> </td> The issue I have with this is that the value dispalyed for the "time2" element is the actual attribute value (for instance 60) and not the actual value (for instance "Minutes"). If anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong, I appreciate your help. Regards, 09-01-10 Not sure exactly where to post this thread as it involves HTML, Javascript and embedded media players. It probably would be more appropriate here as there is much Javascript involved.... Hello, I am trying to construct a Jukebox for my website. I have spent considerable time all over the WEB and at this forum which addressed the issue in a 50 page thread. Please see: http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=50666 I got a lot of ideas from this thread but still cannot figure a way to do the following within the Jukebox. These are my main two questions for everything below: 1. How can I have the Jukebox cycle through all tunes and then start over from the beginning? 2. How can I allow the user to select a tune from a list but not a drop down list, have the Jukebox start from the user’s selection and then play all songs to the end. Then as in #1, start over from the beginning? Per this thread I came away with basically two ways to assemble the jukebox. One uses links in a drop down list which the user can choose from. The other is to use an .m3u playlist. The user can only select a “playlist” from the drop down. Below, I have included the code for each Jukebox. To see the Jukeboxes in action please go to my website where I have posted some test pages exhibiting the jukeboxes that I am referring to. The following is the Jukebox which utilizes an .m3u playlist. If I end up using this idea I would like the tunes in the .m3u playlist to be displayed and allow the user to be able to choose a tune in the list. Then have the list play to the end of all tunes in the list. Then start over from the beginning of the list. After this code is the .m3u playlist.

If I go with this idea, I would like for the list not to be a dropdown list but just a list of tunes.

The good thing about it is that it lists all the tunes in the playlist which the user can then select from. This jukebox calls up an entire Windows Media Player.

Dan I have a long list consisting of a name and associated number, like this: SITE01 2111 SITE02 4567 SITE03 5555 and so on. I would like to put two dropdown boxes where the user can select either the name or the number. Then based upon the users selection have both the name and number appear. I'm thinking of putting all the data in an array and using the dropdowns to query the array. That sounds good but I'm new to javascript and a detailed example of how to do this would be needed, if its even the right approach to take to accomplish this. Hi, i am building a website form which I would like the user to select a product of interest. Some products are three tiered and some are two tiered. 1. Example of three tier (3 dropdowns required only): Scooters (dropdown 1) Three Wheel Scooters (dropdown 2) Delux 503S Bird Scooter (dropdown 3) 2. Example of two tier (2 dropdowns required only): Standing Bikes (dropdown 1) Children 300 Series (dropdown 2) If the user wants to submit their interest for one of the products, I need to have at most 3 dropdown menus. So in Example 1, I would have 3 dropdowns in my form. Dropdown 1: Scooters Dropdown 2: Three Wheel Scooters Dropdown 3: Delux 503S Bird Scooter In Example 2, I would only need to use the first 2 dropdown menus. (Obviously the first dropdown would contain 'Scooters' and 'Standing Bikes' in the menu list) The below code is perfect except, I would like to alter the code so that the second and third dropdowns are hidden until a selection from the first drop down is made. Once for example, 'Standing Bikes' is selected from the first dropdown menu, the second dropdown menu appears and the third remains hidden due to the fact that it is not required. If I selected Scooters from the first dropdown menu, the second dropdown would appear listing all items associated with this and at this point the third dropdown menu is hidden. If i select 'Three Wheel Scooter' from the second dropdown the third dropdown menu now appears listing all Three wheel Scooters such as 'Delux 503S Bird Scooter'. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you require clarrification.
